I'm blogging this.
Last week I hosted the FDL Book Salon with former Vermont Governor Madeleine Kunin to discuss her new book “Pearls, Politics and Power: How Women Can Win and Lead” I highly recommend the book and our chat was pretty nifty too.
What Amber Said...
That I just clicked thru a @cnnbrk tweet to cnn.com and see Bernie Mac’s visage on the front page, when Russia just squashed 2000 Georgian civilians is mind blowing. FYI - Quick & Dirty Q&A on the Russia/Georgia/South Ossetia history on BBC News.
Note the part where they mention that Georgia is pulling its 2000 troops out of Iraq to come back home and deal with this. Remember that coalition of the willing? As in - all the countries that sent a few guys into Iraq to whom we are now indebtted? Yeah, I’m sure they won’t want anything back from the United States for that…
I've had the exact same conversation with my mother...
- Julia: Why do you TURN OFF YOUR CELLPHONE??? What is the point of having a cellphone if it's OFF!?!
- Dad: So the battery doesn't run down.
- Julia: That is why you have a CHARGER!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I spent the afternoon at Whole Foods, where I didn’t actually buy anything besides lunch, but I did accompany my friend Sam around the store as she bought out the produce department.
I contemplated options for next week that meet the requirements of my new PCOS-friendly diet. I think I’ll do some research tonight and head to the store with a plan. It can be dangerous to my bank account if I am let free in WF without one.
That said, my new favorite salad, born out of the need to use up some peppers that had been staring at me from the fridge all week, consists of:
Greens
Thinly sliced red peppers
Diced Green Apples
Goat Cheese Crumbles
Finely diced garlic
Oil + Vinegar/Salt & Pepper
All in all, a tasty combination.
